Chapter 926: A Mere Leak Through the Fingernails Elevates Zhan Tingzhou to the Five-Restriction Cultivation Realm
Lu Ding bent down to pick it up, wiped it off, and handed it back: "Here."
Ying Gou took it and reattached it.
He rolled his eyes several times, whether on purpose or by accident was unclear.
In any case, he added: "You set me up."
Lu Ding sipped his tea: "I thought it wouldn't be that hard."
Ying Gou: ........
"Go on, get out, I'm kicking you out now."
Of course, he was just joking.
Of course, there was also a sense of awkwardness mixed in, the embarrassment of 'losing face' in public, it was just too awkward.
Lu Ding sipped his tea, his shoulders shaking with laughter. This guy was actually quite interesting.Just then, Ying Gou raised his hand and waved. The cup containing the snake blood flew into Zhan Tingzhou's hand.
"Not giving it to him anymore, you drink it."
Things had reached this point; for Zhan Tingzhou to refuse again would be impolite.
He immediately drank it down in one gulp.
The snake blood transformed into a violent medicinal energy that instantly coursed through Zhan Tingzhou's entire body, flushing his face bright red.
At that very moment.
Zhuge Xing beside him flicked out a flying needle, pinning it onto Zhan Tingzhou's acupoint to stabilize the demonic, agitated energy within his body.
Lu Ding waved his hand, and the heaven and earth's spiritual energy naturally gathered, converging into a tidal surge that poured into Zhan Tingzhou's body.
Ying Gou raised his hand and made a grasping motion.
The snake demon's frenzied medicinal properties were ripped from Zhan Tingzhou's body, clenched in his hand, and crushed with a squeeze!!!
In just a few moments.
A brand new Five Restrictions Early Stage made its debut!!!
Zhan Tingzhou opened his eyes and clasped his hands in gratitude towards the three of them in turn.
It truly lived up to that saying: all sorts of messy, convoluted opportunities are no match for a little bit leaking from between Lu Ding's fingernails.
All he needed now was to replenish the final colored divine light, and the Five-Colored Divine Light would be complete!
Getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later—there was no one else like him.
Even Zhan Tingzhou himself felt it was absurd.
But for Ying Gou and Lu Ding, three words contained everything: 'Was it hard?'
After staying there until the time was about right.
Lu Ding bid farewell to Ying Gou.
He set off with Zhan Tingzhou towards the Baxi Temple beside the Baxi Stele outside the Mouth of the Evil Prison.
At this moment.
Inside the Baxi Temple, the crowd was waiting for the arrival of the Wuwang contact.
Among them, the most eye-catching were undoubtedly the young man dressed entirely in white, with a headband, holding a three-foot-long sword, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.
And the old man with a receding hairline, holding a serpent staff.
The former was Wen Yu, the Snow Mountain Sword of the Divine Sword Sect.
The latter was Shi Yuanshan, the Human Owl, father of Shi Tangxue, Holy Maiden of the Yellow Heaven Sect's Great Jing branch.
Behind Wen Yu, a youth with tied-back hair held a scabbardless sword, its cold light glinting brilliantly, just like the youth himself—sharp and exposed, full of high spirits and ambition.
He opened his mouth and said: "Hey, old man, what time exactly did you agree to meet with Wuwang? Are they coming or not?"
Hearing this 'old man', Shi Yuanshan felt a surge of anger in his heart: "I am the Sect Leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect's Great Jing branch! Watch your tone when speaking to me!"
"Don't think just because you're a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect that I don't dare to touch you!!"
Shen Yuqing laughed loudly twice: "Touch me?"
"Senior Brother, he says he wants to touch me?"
Wen Yu turned his head to look: "Take back what you just said."
Shi Yuanshan forcibly suppressed his rage. It wasn't that he didn't dare to turn hostile against these people, but the cost of doing so was simply too high.
He already had a blood feud with Lu Ding.
If he were to offend the Divine Sword Sect, which had split from the Divine Sword Holy Land, on top of that...
Then in the future, the new city would become forbidden ground for the Yellow Heaven Sect.
Moreover, this Shen Yuqing was an old acquaintance of his daughter.
The two had a good relationship.
That's why Shen Yuqing had come to help, and even brought along the Divine Sword Sect's prodigy, Wen Yu.
Of course, Shen Yuqing came for free, asking for no reward, but Wen Yu actually intended to take something from the Mad God's tomb.
Furthermore, the intentions of both sides to deal with Lu Ding also coincided perfectly.
So, Shi Yuanshan stopped overthinking it.
The more allies he had, the greater his hope of dealing with Lu Ding.
Don't look at him being a Spirit Refinement cultivator; when it came to dealing with Lu Ding, he didn't have a shred of confidence.
But the murder of his daughter demanded vengeance. Even if it cost him his old life, even if it cost him his position as Sect Leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect's Great Jing branch, he was determined to do it!!!
Shi Yuanshan took a deep breath: "I was impulsive. However, the people from Wuwang should be arriving soon."
As he spoke.
A Yellow Heaven Sect disciple on lookout duty rushed in from outside.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, two masked individuals have arrived outside and are chatting beside the Baxi Stele."
"Masks? That should be the people from Wuwang. Members among them rarely reveal their true identities. Let's go out!"
Shi Yuanshan said, leading the way out.
Outside the Baxi Temple.
Lu Ding had taken a black-and-red fang-patterned mask from Zhan Tingzhou. After putting it on his face, he stood with Zhan Tingzhou by the Baxi Stele, casually examining the Baxi stone statue as they chatted.
"If only this thing were real."
This was Baxi, after all.
One of the nine sons of the dragon. Don't think that just because Lu Ding had already subjugated so many dragons...
These dragons were completely incomparable to Baxi's father, the True Dragon.
If he could subjugate a Baxi...
Wouldn't his strength skyrocket?
Zhan Tingzhou examined the stone statue carrying the stele: "The Great Han probably doesn't have any."
Lu Ding perked up: "Other places do?"
Zhan Tingzhou: ........
"I don't remember this too clearly either. Wait for me to go back and look through some records."
That was the truth.
With so many memories from his past life, Zhan Tingzhou couldn't possibly remember every single one.
But it was fine. Not only did he now have Five Restrictions cultivation, once he gathered the Five-Colored Divine Light, he would take out his memories, organize them, and give them a thorough scrubbing.
Then he would extract the essence and discard the dross.
He was sure he could dig out the Baxi he had heard about in his past life.
Lu Ding nodded. He was just about to say something.
When he heard an angry, cold snort.
"You people from Wuwang, do you have no sense of time at all!!?"
Lu Ding looked over and saw a group of figures flying out from the tall weeds nearby.
The Baxi Temple was right behind them.
Looking at the arrivals, the distinctive-looking Shi Yuanshan and the headband-wearing Divine Sword Sect member, Lu Ding didn't even need to think.
They were too recognizable.
He just didn't know how these two factions had gotten mixed together.
But it didn't matter, it was just right to deal with them together. Coincidentally, he hadn't been able to find the Divine Sword Sect's hiding place when he sent people before.
Now that he'd discovered it, he could kill two birds with one stone. What a wonderful thing.
Lu Ding restrained a bit of his temper, thinking that he would still need to use Shi Yuanshan later to enter the Mad God's tomb.
So he said: "We were delayed on the road."
Shi Yuanshan felt a surge of pent-up anger. Because of Wuwang's delay, he had clashed with the Divine Sword Sect people and had to lower his head. How humiliating.
"Where's your Commander!?"
"He didn't come. He should have told you, this handover, the two of us are replacing him."
Seeing they were just two nobodies, Shi Yuanshan immediately seized the opportunity to make things difficult: "Didn't come? Since he didn't come, then just give me the stuff. You two don't need to go in."
"After the deed is done, I won't short him a single cent of what he's owed!"
Lu Ding almost laughed out loud. Say what you will, but Zhan Tingzhou's mask was truly superb. As the smile beneath Lu Ding's mask grew.
The originally lifeless mask on his face eerily mirrored Lu Ding's smile, stretching into a grin as well.
It looked exceptionally fierce, savage, and bizarre.
